    Probably a little homemade ingenuity.

    Haha. Yep, looks homemade but easily doable. Then again, getting it perfectly centered and balanced likely isn’t easy. Thanks for sharing.

    Been there, done this......works with any drill. Having it centered and balanced is not really that critical, you just need it to agitate your cleaning solution and loosen up the dirt. In cup holders, you can run into some stuff that's seriously stuck in there.....that's when the steamer comes in handy

    Just an interior brush that's had the handle shaved down to fit the chuck. The torque pushes the bristles out and cleans. Great little home remedy tool.

    FLEX makes a LOT of tools. They are also owned by Chervon their Parent Company who owns a number of smaller companies. I have a Skill Cordless Drill you see me use for cleaning tires, it's one of their brands.


    From this write-up


    Review: GYEON Q2M Tire SiO2 Coating








    Machine Application

    In the same way I like to machine scrub tires I also like to machine apply dressings and coatings, when possible. Unlike us wimpy human beings - machines never get tires and in most cases this means more consistent and uniform results no matter what the process.






    To machine apply this tire coating I grabbed a plastic bowel out of the break room and pumped a few squirts of the coating into the bowel.










    Grey Upholstery Brush

    I've removed the Aqua brush for scrubbing and replaced it with a grey brush, which is softer and less aggressive. This will work GREAT to work the coating into all the siping as well as irregular surfaces found on a tire sidewall.






    Real simply - dip the brush into the bowel to get some coating onto the ends of the bristles.





    Then let the machine take over...











    (I used the same cordless drill to machine scrub the tires to get them clean, just didn't show the picture. Used the Aqua brush for tire cleaning)





    And like others said, basically Kyle stuck a brush in the jaws of the drill and turned the brush originally designed to be used by hand into a machine brush.


    Pretty cool. Kyle be like one cool dude too.
